I bought a necklace for my wife here. Service was very good. Salesman was one of the designers and was very knowledgeable. Prices seemed to be reasonable.

APR57 Jewelers deserves more than 5 stars! They really treat their customers like family. David and Sophia are beyond talented!! They understood my vision and custom-designed the most exquisite and breathtaking engagement ring that still exceeds my expectations every time I look at it!! Thanks guys :)

There's clearly a reason David Lee & APR5 have only 5 star reviews!

If you're a guy looking for an engagement ring the whole process can be a little daunting.. it was for me, I didn't really know where to start except that my now wife wanted a vintage ring. David made the whole process very easy, was incredibly helpful without trying to sell you anything like some vendors may do.

My wife loved the ring I picked out, we went back a couple of times to get it sized and ended up getting both of our wedding bands from David aswell. They even loaned us some fancy diamond earings for my wife to wear on the day of the wedding.

I don't expect to be shopping for an engagement ring ever again, but will certainly go back to see David Lee for any future jewelry purchases!

I wanted to surprise my then future wife with a special ring that was meaningful and special. I had initially gone to build a custom ring, but then while doing my due diligence I found David, and after my first meeting with him, I canceled my order opting for a gorgeous antique piece from APR57.

David's warm personality and his enthusiasm about his collection made my decision so easy. He was able to educate me so much about different cuts, styles, colors, and techniques so that when the time came I was fully confident about my purchase.

I have purchased several pieces since my initial purchase, and have left with a smile every time.

It is so nice to have an antique piece made with old school craftsmanship, high quality materials, and tons of character.

Went to APR57 Jewelers on a whim with my mom, to see about fixing my engagement ring which had lots three of its smallest stones! So I hadn't worn it in a while!!

Fast forward 4 months later... Finally took my ring in got it fixed and got my ring that my Gma had given me and was really old! They polished and made it shine! So pretty! And they did such a wonderful Job!! Thank you Sophia and all the others who worked on my rings!!

I had two pieces of Margot de Taxco enameled silver that needed links added. Another jeweler told me that I couldn't take links from another piece and add it to my necklaces but David Lee did it. Fantastic precision work. Thank you! I've got more challenges I'll be bringing in.

I took a diamond to get re-set here. Loved the way it came out, but when I wore it, the point of the diamond scratched me. Obviously, I'm not going to wear something that scratches me, so I took it back to have it re-set again. They were nothing but kind every time I went in. I would gladly do business here again.

APR57 is an amazing family business. We stop by looking for a new ring for my wife. We walked in and met Paul and he took the time to learn exactly what we were looking for and educate us so that we would make an inform decision. My wife picked a ring made in house non the less and is very happy. Take the time and look around and you will find unique pieces of jewelry designed by APR57. We are happy we did.

I am thankful for Paul taking the time and being so patient. We did not leave the store until Paul was sure that we were happy, he even took time to resize and clean my wife's original engagement ring. I knew from that point that I would only trust APR57 Jewelers when in need of repairing, cleaning, or buying jewelry.

I returned later with my brother when he was looking for an engagement ring and the service as always was exemplary. Paul took the time to learn what my brother wanted and made sure he was happy before he left the store. My future sister in law loves her one of a kind engagement ring. Thank you Paul and APR57!

I couldn't be more impressed with my 2 visits to APR57Jewelry store. Their designs and craftsmanship are exceptional. Plus, they are a local, family owned store and it shows in their customer service and how personable they are to each customer. My first visit was to get a Tanzanite stone looked at and the jeweler recommended a beautiful pendant necklace setting. My second visit was for a custom setting made for my engagement ring. My fiancé has visited they shop a few more times and always has only good things to say.

4/28/19 Update: I picked up my custom made engagement ring yesterday and it couldn't be more beautiful. The ring is made to perfection- no details were missed. I honestly couldn't be happier with my ring. Thank you David Lee!

APR57 Jewelers is a highly professional family owned business that combines passionate creativeness and uncompromising quality into everything they do.
We worked with David that designed us a beautiful engagement ring. We wanted something a little specific and non traditional and David was really good at listening to us and taking in any photos we brought in and any feedback we had to match the design to what we had in mind.
The whole process was fairly quick, painless, and affordable.
We ended up with a beautiful and unique opal engagement ring. Thanks David and APR57!

Wonderful craftsmanship and customer service.

After vetting on Yelp where to get my engagement ring's prongs fixed, I decided to try APR57 Jewelers. I'm so glad I did! My heirloom ring was in worse shape than I realized. David showed me my ring under a microscope to explain what work needs to be done. I also looked for details in my stone to make sure I recognized it when I got it back.

We deliberated various approaches on how to fix my ring that also matched my budget. I won't go into the details, but the care and knowledge in ring structure was obvious and the outcome of the work done was perfection. I left feeling I got a good deal too. As a bonus David noticed another ring I was wearing was loose. As a courtesy, his craftsman quickly tightened the prongs.

That sealed the deal: I found my jeweler. Now I know where I can go for appraisals, bespoke jewelry, maintenance, etc. And I know I can trust them with quality and care.

The store itself is big, with a large selection of time pieces.

I will definitely consider APR57. for any future watch purchases.

Wow this is a grand old world class jewelers,

you can feel the grandeur and prosperity of the wealth that they had back then

the staff is truly helpful and not snobbish at all there inventory is very extensive and exceptional Quality
